Indians are second to people from this country in buying high priced luxury properties in Dubai, top position goes to…, not US, UK, Russia, China, Pakistan
Super-rich Indians are second to Saudi High Net Worth Individuals (HNWI) in buying luxury properties in Dubai, according to a report by global property consultancy Knight Frank.
The report adds that British citizens are in third position after Indians in buying luxury properties in Dubai.
Saudi HNWIs have the highest average budget of USD 45.7 million, followed by those from India at USD 44.6 million and UK citizens with USD 30 million, as per the report.
Asian HNWIs have the lowest average budget among Knight Frank's survey respondents; however, this was still a very healthy USD 23 million.
Global real estate investors chose Dubai's Marina area (28 per cent) as their preferred location. Other locations such as Dubai Hills Estate (24 per cent) and Emirates Hills (23 per cent) were the second and third places chosen by wealthy buyers, as per the Knight Frank report.
Observing the trends, Shehzad Jamal, Partner – Strategy & Consultancy, MENA, said, 'For our wealthiest HNWI respondents (net worth > USD 50 million), Dubai Marina (43 per cent) commands the highest interest, demonstrating the enduring appeal of the long-standing poster child of Dubai's property market. For this group of super-rich buyers, Dubai Hills Estate (30 per cent) follows in second place, while Emirates Hills (22 per cent) rounds off the top three likely home purchase locations.'
The 2025 edition of the Destination Dubai report further added that Dubai's residential market experienced another strong year in 2024, with property values rising by 19.1 per cent to an average of United Arab Emirates Dirham (AED) 1,685 per square foot (psf), pushing prices to 13.3 per cent above the 2014 peak.
On average, villa sale prices grew by 19.6 per cent in the 12 months to the end of Q1, reaching AED 2,088 per sf, reflecting a 107.6 per cent uplift on Q1 2020.
This sustained growth illustrates the strong appeal of stand-alone villas, beachfront homes and branded residences that provide instant access to the Dubai lifestyle, the report added.

PM Modi underlines ‘economic priorities', gives call for Swadeshi push after Trump's ‘dead economy' jibe
Days after US President Donald Trump labelled India a 'dead economy,' Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday said that the country must remain alert to its 'own economic priorities' amid the instability and uncertainty facing the world economy. He urged Indians to stand firm on economic nationalism and self-reliance. Speaking at a public rally in Varanasi's Banauli village, Modi underscored that India is on track to become the world's third-largest economy amid growing international uncertainty. 'In such times, countries are focusing solely on their own interests. India, too, must remain alert to its own economic priorities,' Modi said, invoking a renewed push for Swadeshi. 'At a time when the world is going through uncertainty, let us take a pledge to sell only Swadeshi goods from our shops and markets. Promoting made in India goods will be the truest service to the country.' The remarks come days after Trump announced a 25 per cent import tariff on Indian goods, effective August 7, and warned of further penalties for India's ongoing purchase of Russian crude oil and military equipment. In a post on Truth Social, Trump said: 'They (Russia and India) can take their dead economies down together, for all I care.' After Trump's statement, India's response was measured. Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal told Parliament on Thursday that India remains the world's fastest-growing major economy and is widely expected to emerge as the third-largest globally in the near future. In his speech Saturday, Modi framed the global economic instability as a moment of opportunity for India. 'The feeling of Swadeshi in every action will define our future,' he said. 'This will also be a true tribute to Mahatma Gandhi. Only through collective effort can we fulfil the dream of a developed India.' He urged citizens to become conscious consumers and adopt the 'Vocal for Local' mantra. 'Whatever we buy, we should ask ourselves – has an Indian toiled to make this? If it has been made by the sweat of our people, with their skills, that product is Swadeshi for us.' The prime minister also called on all political parties to unite behind the goal of national economic advancement. 'If we want India to become the third-largest economy, every political party and every leader, keeping aside their hesitations, must work in the nation's interest and awaken the spirit of Swadeshi among the people,' he said.
